Order No:-03 Dated:-10-04-2026
Heard the parties.
This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed by the petitioner with the prayer for restoration of Cr.M.P. No.176 of 2023 to its original file which stood dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 24.11.2025 passed by this Court.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that Cr.M.P. No.176 of 2023 stood dismissed for non-compliance of the peremptory order dated 24.11.2025 passed by this Court to file the proof of deposit of Rs.1,000/with the Jharkhand State Legal Services Authority (JHALSA). It is next submitted that due to miscommunication and lapse on the ground of the earlier engaged counsel, the said amount could not be deposited within the stipulated time; which resulted in dismissal of the said Cr.M.P. No.176 of 2023 for noncompliance of the said peremptory order dated 24.11.2025 passed by this Court. It is further submitted that the said amount has already been deposited and the proof of the same has also been filed. It is next submitted that non-compliance of the said peremptory order dated 24.11.2025 was neither deliberate nor intentional. It is also submitted that the petitioner has very good grounds to agitate in the said Cr.M.P. No.176 of 2023 and unless the same is restored to its original file, the petitioner will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the Cr.M.P. No.176 of 2023 be restored to its original file.
Learned Spl.P.P. appearing for the State has not raised any serious objection.
Considering the facts of the case and the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, Cr.M.P. No.176 of 2023 is directed to be restored to its original file at the same stage at which it was before its dismissal.
Registry is directed to list Cr.M.P. No.176 of 2023 before the concerned Bench after a week.
This criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of accordingly.
